#TeamClark -- like I said in a P4 job in sunny Florida, 40-24 Head Coaching record with 3 Bowl wins and a couple of SBC championships and title appearances. What a guy, what a head coach. Yeah with the second SBC appearance due to a technicality. Yeah three bowl wins, one bowl loss and two seasons ...

Biggest question mark of this staff has been answered.

Really difficult to spin this as a negative for the couple of posters seeking that angle.

Agreed. A very small minority on here would still take the prior staff over this new one.

Sounds like maybe some smoke with Malachi Singleton and Davion Dozier?

What do you mean? Did they post something on Twitter?

Ok I will ask. How is this much different than Clark? This potential hire seems like a big risk vs hiring someone that has had HC experience at the FBS level. Clark proved he couldn’t move the needle. New guy hasn’t. Difference. I still haven't read a reason on here why smith would be worth the ris...

I didn't care for the "uhh, I don't know, as long as they'll have me" answer to "how long do you want to be at App State?" question. That gave me pause.

To be fair, that's a pretty dumb question to ask a brand new coach.

Did the reporter think he was going to say 1-2 years or earlier?

Would be a good test to see if an informant would leak information. Too juicy to not disclose knowing the masses would revolt. Well played. Game of thrones had an excellent scene where they distributed 3 pieces of information to 3 different people to find out the mole. DG to the iron throne My good...

We will be hard pressed to land someone who checks every box. We will definitely land someone who checks the most important boxes. That could easily be DJ Smith.

Can you elaborate on how he would help us win?

Casey Woods is in the mix... comes highly recommended from Drink -- Satt recommended Neal Brown. One P5 coordinator after digging into told his agent no thanks. Either a fall back guy (Brown) -- Brown is awaiting what goes on at WKU. A first timer (Woods) OR a 1-AA move up the chain guys This searc...

Contract details as we all know , can derail an offer. Especially with multiple levels of approval required. Heather has shown her ability to make things happen though. I seems like we are close.

Sorry, who is Heather?

Has the well of potential coaches really dried up in the past month? It was not a bad decision to wait for the reasons mentioned by the rational people here. SC deserved at least to finish the season. It also made financial sense to save some buyout. No matter if the decision was made a month ago o...

If we interview OCs or DCs from P4s, how would the App admin be able to critique their performance with NIL and today's transfer portal?

Still a firm, absolute NO on Brown.

Can you elaborate?

I am not understanding how Tre Lamb would be a fit at this point. His success is average at ETSU and keep in mind that the FCS competition is watered down and the playoffs expanded to 24 teams.

Now that the deed is done and all the anti-Shawn Clark folks are tickled pink.....

I am using this phrase in the future.

If true…I confess I didn’t believe they’d do it. But I suspect Gillin was painted into a corner where someone was gonna the axe and he didn’t want to be unemployed. But I don’t believe DG is out of the woods either.

I was thinking at best that we would get new a OC and DC.

We can all agree it was time to move on. Shawn made great money and also gets the $500,000 buyout. If he is smart with his money he can retire already. He will be fine.

Don't throw good money after bad. Sometimes you need to cut your losses with a bad investment. sometimes you have to break things down to build them back up. I don’t disagree with the premise. But speaking in general terms and not specific to this situation, I’m not cleaning up someone else’s mess....
